From an absence of armpit hair on a fictional girl to the presence of braided hair on a real one: It's objections all the way down

Via Instapundit: Authorities charged a Hampshire College student with assaulting a member of Central Maine Community College's basketball team over a dispute about cultural appropriation. Really.

The Hampshire student, 20-year-old Carmen Figueroa, allegedly started a fight because the basketball player had braided her hair in a manner that upset Figueroa. She walked up to the visiting player—during a basketball game—and demanded that the player remove the braids from her hair, according to masslive.com.

Figueroa is a female student of color. The basketball player was a member of the women's team. Her ethnicity is not stated in news articles, though it seems likely she's either white, or belongs to some other race whose members aren't allowed to braid their hair Latina-style, according to Figueroa's world view.

This guy has the skinny on fatty Carmen.It says she raised $2000 on gofundme to take a vacation to Thailand and play with elephants. By play she may have meant mate.Maybe she can gofund her legal fees.
